FreeNovelWas Gina really that brainless to ask Frank to go to Southstream and apologize, and for someone as lowly as Fleur?! If he was really forced to visit them, it would not be an apology—Frank would be threatening the Southstream Lanes instead, as he would not be satisfied until Helen was appointed the head of the Lane family.
Once it was pushed through, every clique in the family would get upset, and they would go their separate ways when they could have coexisted peacefully.

"Listen up, Helen—there's this farm my father has been investing in," he explained. "He personally loves it and often hires contractors to green it. However, the farm itself is inflicting monetary losses, amounting up to the millions now. We can't keep giving handouts for a business even if the old man loves it, so he's been planning to sell it.
"As such, if you can take over that farm and make the business boom, I'm sure my father would think highly of you—you might even be given that billion-dollar investment company!" Gina was thrilled to hear Gavin's suggestion and thanked him endlessly before turning toward Helen. "Go on, thank your uncle!" Helen was actually moved and was about to thank him when Gavin said quietly, "Wait, don't thankyet. | said that my father is ready to sell it, but it won't be easy to actually acquire it. First, you'd need around a billion dollars to purchase the farm, and there's subsequent investments just to make a profit from it.

My father himself used all the family resources but just couldn't make a profit out of the farm." "What?! A billion?!" Gina's face turned pale right then. BQ Where would any of them get a billion?! And a billion was just the cost of buying the farm, while subsequent investments were not included! Helen was frowning too, since she really could not afford a billion dollars—if she really wanted to do it, she would have to liquidate Lane Holdings.
And even that did not include later operations cost, and she must also make a profit with the farm! No matter how she looked at it, it was almost impossible.
That was when Frank suddenly cand spoke over the phone, "Deal. We'll wire the money in three days." Gavin had made himself very clear, after all—it was virtually impossible for Helen to succeed alone, so he was basically telling Frank everything too.

He breathed a sigh of relief once he received Frank's assurance and was chuckling on the other end.
"It relievesto hear that you're helping, Mr. Lawrence," he said and hung up after sbrief small talk.
Helen sighed dejectedly right then, her gaze gloomy as she snapped, "You're being impulsive, Frank! Where would we get so much money? Lane Holdings especially doesn't have money to spare with the new factory's precision machinery... No, we wouldn't have that much money anyway!"
